Amos 5:16-20

16The Lord, the Lord God Almighty says, ‘All the people will be sad. They will weep and cry loudly in all the streets. They will tell the farmers to weep with them. They will tell the singers to sing sad songs for them.

17In every field and garden, people will be weeping, because I will come to punish them all.’ That is what the Lord says.

18You want the special day of the Lord to come. But it will be very bad for you! You think that God will punish your enemies on that day. But that day will not bring light to you, it will bring darkness.

19Nobody will escape! It will be like a man who runs away from a lion, but then he meets a bear! When he goes into his house to be safe, he puts his hand on a wall and a snake bites him!

20Know this: The day of the Lord will be dark, not light. It will bring trouble, not joy.
